I only recently entered the tablet world with an iPad and the basic use case intent for scrolling, streaming, and generally having a larger second screen. I looked at tablet pens for the simple purpose of taking notes and making sketches while I work on projects. Of course, the Apple Pencil was there, but I couldn't bring myself to spend about $50 for a used one, so I looked to Amazon for a well rated budget option. At just under $20 after the coupon, this one seemed worth trying, and it so far has delivered. Pairing was easy and it links up right away when turned on, with the top button being natural as a click pen. I don't notice any lag and have yet to experience an issue with responsiveness or accuracy. It feels durable and about the same weight as a typical pen. It serves well as a digital version of a fine point pencil, and I have played around a bit to confirm the tip function does work as stated. It might fall short of the premium models for an artist, but it's plenty for aa builder to make notes and sketches. I haven't had this long enough to comment on long term use and durability, but at this price, it's a minimal risk to see how I end up using a tablet pen and if I want to try going premium down the road. I also do not have an iPad with the wireless charging or magnet hold, but it fits in the slot on my case perfectly (which I trust more than a magnet anyway). It did respond to charging on my wireless charging pad, and wired charging will be plenty for me. I had first found the company's gen 1 pen in results, but the comparisons down the page led me to this gen 2 model (with the wireless) and the coupon was better. Read more
I was hesitant to purchase this inexpensive pencil for my iPad Pro 12.9 (fifth generation) just because of the price. After all , the Apple brand is over $100.00. I’ve gone through three Apple Pencils. All three quit working when the nib got thin. Changing the nib did nothing. So that’s several hundred dollars down the drain. I admit I use the pencil multiple times daily. Maybe I’m the issue. So I am trying a different pencil brand. So far things are great. Pros: Seamless integration (pairing) with my iPad - It also comes with a USB - C charging cable Magnetic charging Quick response Came with extra replacement nibs Several Color choices - I chose pink Works like a 2nd generation Apple Pencil Pencil tip briefly changes color - Red when charging, Green when charged, Blue when first turned on. I love it. Cons: I have to turn it on when I want to use it. - That is a minor issue - Just something I need to get used to. All you do is touch the top of the pencil and it instantly turns on. So easy. Read more
I had purchased an apple pencil to match up with my new iPad. It needed to be hooked onto the charge port of the iPad, so I couldn't use the port while the pencil was sticking out dangerously. Then I discovered this marvelous device! It takes a separate charge and clicks off when not in use. So I have the pleasure of forgetting to charge it and it's always ready for use! It does EVERYTHING the brand does, like scribble, write, color, etc. I'm completely happy and also amazed at this convenient, excellent product. Look before you buy brand - the other company could have charged less, for what I got for less!!!! Read more
I’ve had two Apple Pencils, one broke, and the other one fell off (mag) somewhere and I never found it. And this. This is adequate for the price, if I keep losing or breaking them, I don’t want to keep paying $99 for a replacement. It’s working as advertised, point, click, draw, all work. However, pairing wasn’t immediate and I’m not sure it charges well using mag so I have had to recharge using the cable. There is no notification of the charge level when you mag-attach to iPad, and nothing in the Bluetooth settings either, other than “Forget this device”. Software is free, but they didn’t provide except the bare minimum. Likewise, the tilt sensitivity sometimes works (with some styles in some apps) but there is no pressure sensitivity (that’s okay for the price). Also the feel is different, this is much lighter than an Apple Pencil. Other than that, I might buy a couple more just to be prepared with a replacement. Read more
The iPad Pencil 2nd Generation is a remarkable device that truly lives up to the high standards set by the original Apple Pencil. Its precision and responsiveness make it a perfect tool for artists, designers, and note-takers alike. The seamless integration with the iPad makes it a joy to use, just like its predecessor. One of the standout features of the iPad Pencil 2nd Generation is its magnet charging capability, which works just as flawlessly as the original Apple Pen.

Overall, the iPad Pencil 2nd Generation is a perfect replacement for the original Apple Pen, offering the same level of performance and functionality with the added convenience of magnet charging. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a casual user, this pencil is sure to enhance your iPad experience. Read more
This iPad ped works great. It comes with extra pen tips just in case you need them. The easy on button is right at the top of the pen and it has an easy charger port on the side. My iPad holder seems to charge it by itself like my apple pen so by reading the description I don’t think you have to use the charger. The magnetic charger is all you need for it to self charge. But read the product description yourself to see what you think about that. All I know is I’ve been using this for several weeks without using the plug in port. This pen is great I would buy it over and over if needed Read more
